In 30 days, you'll know your average cost-per-hire by source, where to kill spend that isn't working, and which hiring channels are worth doubling down on. Walk into every leadership meeting with numbers your CFO will actually trust.
30‑minute review of your ATS + job board data to identify wasted spend and quick wins. No pitch deck.
Sample preview. Your comprehensive custom report is designed based on your data and the top 3 KPIs you want to track.
We work with the ATS and job boards your team already uses
Best operational decision we made this year. Full stop. Wish we'd done it a year ago.
Most of your recruiting budget is going to job boards nobody can rank. Your ATS, job platforms, and spreadsheets hold the numbers, but none of them talk to each other. Waste hides in plain sight. And the QBR is in three weeks.
$3K, $10K, or $30K+ a month is moving across Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, niche boards, and your career site. If your CFO asked tomorrow which channel earned its keep based on actual data, you'd be guessing.
Reqs sit for 60 days quietly burning ad spend. Sources that look busy and produce almost no hires. You'd kill half of it today if you could see it on one page.
Finance wants to know what the job boards actually return. You piece together ad-hoc reports. Next quarter's budget gets defended on gut feel because the real numbers live in three systems that don't talk.
of TA teams can't connect recruitment spend to actual hires
Only 23% of talent acquisition organizations can tie their ad dollars to hiring outcomes. If your CFO asked tomorrow which job board earned its keep this quarter, you'd probably be in the 77% answering with 'we think.' Finance is usually not happy with hearing answers that start with 'we think.'

of hires come from sponsored job ads. Despite eating most of your budget.
Sponsored job ads generate 23% of applicants but just 9% of actual hires, the lowest conversion rate of any source. Careers-page applicants are 4x more likely to be hired than job board applicants. Referrals 10x. Niche sources 14x. Most recruiting budgets are stacked on the weakest channel.

average cost-per-hire. Rising sharply, even as hiring demand softened in 2025.
The average cost-per-hire is $5,475 for non-exec roles and $35,879 for executives. Both climbed in 2025 despite a cooler labor market, driven by job board pricing shifts. Every dollar in a weak job board is worth more this year than last. And you can't cut what you can't see.

Job board pricing shifts. Channels degrade. Hiring needs change.
In 30 days, we dissect your job ad and ATS data to expose the roles and sources quietly wasting budget, then turn it into a leadership‑ready Recruitment ROI Performance Report.
You walk into your next leadership meeting with underperforming spend to cut, winners to double‑down on, and a clear, defensible story for every dollar you keep. After that, we refresh the report every month so waste never has time to build up again. And if we don’t uncover at least your implementation fee in wasted or underperforming spend, you don’t pay the fee.

30 minutes · Free · No obligation
One implementation sprint, delivered in four focused weeks. No mystery. No open-ended promises. Little to no disruption to your current hiring.
My CFO pulled me aside and asked what changed with our recruiting. For the first time, I can tell exactly which board is earning its keep and which ones aren't. We cut the spend that wasn't working, doubled down on what was, and my board deck this quarter basically wrote itself.
The board signed off on the full recruiting budget for next year. The ROI report your team built was what got it across the line. This is the first time finance and HR have agreed on a hiring spend plan in two years.
30 minutes is all it takes to start learning what you're actually getting from your job boards. No pitch deck. No obligation.
If, within 30 days of kickoff, we don't surface clearly underperforming or wasteful job board spend equal to at least your implementation fee, you get the implementation fee back. In full.
We line up your last 30 to 90 days of ATS and job board data. If we can't point to specific sources, roles, or tools to cut or reduce that add up to the cost of the sprint, you get your money back. You also keep the ROI report and every recommendation we made.
Either we find enough waste to pay for the sprint, or the sprint is free.
Signed, the What's My ROI team
